Yeah SDK version since March 2008 comes with XAudio2 I guess. XAudio2 is replacement of DirectSound which isn't included in release of the DirectX SDK since November 2007. Newer version also comes with XACT which is easier to program with than XAudio2, the only drawback is that with XACT you have to use the Audio tools that comes with SDK to create wave banks and sound banks. You could go code driven too if you want to but XACT is very buggy when code driven.

Do you think you could upload a config file with the resolution 1440x900? My tools don't 'seam' to like config.exe. I'll probably end up reverse-engineering config.exe and re-writing it to be platform-independent.
